FEATURED RESEARCH


Assessing Cigarette Packs Sold in Indonesia for Health Warning Label Compliance

311 unique cigarette and kretek packs displaying mandated Indonesian health
warning labels (HWLs)
were systematically assessed for compliance with key requirements of Indonesian
law: warning location, warning coverage, and warning label elements. In
addition, three unique packs had out-of-rotation Indonesian HWLs.

Cigarette & E-cigarette Marketing at Points of Sale Near Schools in China: 2021
vs. 2023

IGTC assessed cigarette and e-cigarette marketing at retailers within 100m (in
urban areas) or 250m (in rural areas) of middle and high schools in ten cities
in China in March 2021 and April 2023. This fact sheet summarizes the study
findings, compares the 2021 and 2023 results, and concludes that the sale and
marketing of cigarettes in proximity to schools in China remains widespread.

Implementation of the E-cigarette Ban in India: Findings from Key Informant
Interviews

From February through May 2023, we conducted semi-structured key informant
interviews with 16 participants involved in the development and implementation
of the ban. This research brief summarizes these conversations to provide
insight into strategies to enhance compliance and reduce e-cigarette
availability across India.

Online Marketing of E-cigarettes and HTPs on Brand Websites in the Philippines

IGTC examined various online marketing strategies employed by companies on their
brand websites to promote e-cigarettes and HTPs in the Philippines. Flavor
descriptors, product promotions, and persuasive messaging or appeals using

observed. This fact sheet summarizes the study’s findings, which can help inform
policy efforts and reduce harms associated with these products.
